刑事和解制度研究

我国发达地区法院系统率先试行刑事和解制度,引发了对该制度公平性和合理性的广泛争议。刑事和解是20世纪70年代西方出现的一种刑事思潮,体现了刑事诉讼价值的多元化趋势,并且在很多国家已经成功的制度化,成为刑事诉讼程序外一种重要的纠纷解决机制。结合我国当前司法现状和基本国情,在一些现有的法律制度中融入刑事和解制度基本的"和解"和"恢复正义"的精神,有利于弥补我国刑事法律制度体系的不足,促进司法和谐。

On Rationality of the Victim-offender Reconciliation System

The courts of developed areas in our country have taken the lead in fulfilling the victim-offender reconciliation system, which has initiated a widespread social dispute on the fairness and rationality of the system. As a kind of criminal trend, victim-offender reconciliation appeared in the western world in 1970's. This system reflects the diversification of criminal lawsuit in value. In fact, as an important mechanism of settling disputes, this system has successfully institutionalized in many countries. In consideration of the current judicial status and the basic situation of China, it's profitable to bring the basic spirits of victim-offender reconciliation into the existing criminal justice system, which would promote the judicial harmony.
